Not that I know of. Besides, it would be kind of cold in the winter. The solution would be to hold the classes in the 4.5 foot depth part of the pool, but they would have to interrupt lane swimming to do that. Now, for the last 20 years they have interrupted lane swimming to hold classes in the pool, but that isn't possible to do anymore. I may be writing to the director of the facility. I'm trying to think deviously to see if I can get the on an accessibility issue. If people can bring their dogs in strollers on cruise ships..... I think some of the instructors may complain as well. They used to do half their classes in the deep end and now there is no deep end. Back in Ohio I always did the deep water classes. They were great.

No Y. The community center is the only facility with a pool.

@Nickelpenny Pennie, I am so sorry about your complications. I will be sending healing thoughts your way and let's hope that tomorrow is a great day. @marshhawk Hugs, hugs, hugs. I would be really infuriated if I were you. I am so sorry you are going through this. I went and toured the new community center today. I was excited about the water classes in the new facility until I got there. Water fitness is the best for me with my back issues. All but one disc in my back is damaged and disintegrating. I have severe arthritis, scoliosis, stenosis, you name it. This includes up into the neck. I can hear the bones scraping when I turn my head at times. I can do things in the water that I could never do on land because the water absorbs the shock. However, they have decided to hold the classes in the 3 foot deep area. That is way too shallow for me. I mentioned it to the director of aquatics and he said I'd just have to find something else to do. So, it isn't just fewer classes. Believe me, I know 3 ft is too shallow, I have tried it in other locations and had to leave the class because it was like an electrical jolt going up my back into my head.

Good morning, everyone! It is kind of dreary looking outside this morning and temps are only supposed to rise to 60F. We are meeting DS Mary Jo for yoga this morning and then doing a walk through of the new community center building. I checked my water classes on the schedule and they are only offering half as many and they moved them from 10:00 am to 8:00 am. All to better serve us, I suppose. @summer slope Today's meal looks good to me. When I was looking it up I decided that is what we would have last night, sort of. I swapped out the pasta for spaghetti squash and used some different veggies. It was really good! https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/7901398/one-pot-lemon-asparagus-pasta-with-shrimp/ The seasoning in this recipe is a bit different and closer to what I did last night. I did use a ton of garlic in mine. https://thenaturalnurturer.com/20-minute-lemony-shrimp-asparagus-pasta/ This one is similar except it uses orzo. The type of pasta doesn't matter in this dish. This one also makes some suggestions on things to add in like cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. https://www.wellplated.com/lemon-shrimp-pasta/ @marshhawk Healing thoughts that Chuck's surgery goes well. @Nickelpenny I hope yesterday's surgery went well. @kazu Hoping the foot is doing better. @smitty34877 I hope you have the help you need. Take care of yourself! Wishing you all a wonderful day!

I was able to open the photo and I love the colors in it! You did a beautiful job. I dropped mine off at the long armers today. I was supposed to have it in last week, but I was fighting with the borders. The pattern called for mitered corners. The first two were perfect. The next two were a mess and I had a ruffle on the bottom instead of a border. I think I redid those corners 5 times each. Part of the problem was that it was a big border - 9 inches - made up of three different borders. But, it is good enough now and will have to do! Susie, my sewing room is the dining room table. Sue has taken over the entire downstairs, so that is what I am left with.

No worry on that one. It isn't being served. We have several such switches in this house. I did get one to work to turn on the lights under the cabinets. @richwmn Welcome back! Your adventure was fun to follow and I'm sure you've got another all lined up for next year. @Nickelpenny I hope all goes well today. @ottahand7 Wow, that is a long wait for your procedure. I hope there are no problems in the meantime. @JazzyV I feel for your BFF. You're correct that waiting for surgery means a longer recovery time. I would think they would want to do it ASAP. @kazu Hope all is going in a positive direction for you. Let us know how you're doing. @cruising sister I hope this week is a better one for you. @RMLincoln Sending good vibes for a positive report from the DR on DH's eye. @Haljo1935 Good luck with the OT. @StLouisCruisers I hope the new dining works out for you. Sometimes I am just not hungry that early.

Good morning, everyone! We had some thunder bumpers roll through last night that woke me up. I had a hard time getting back to sleep after that. Good news is that the flowers got watered. I did get the borders on the quilt and today I will drop it off for quilting. I have to clean the patio off again. There is a tree that is dropping so many little seed pods that you'd think it was snowing. The chipmunks are in 7th heaven with them. I am with @LambKnuckles on today's meal. If I am having a burger, I want the real thing. Remember the commercial, "Where's the beef?" That would be my question. However, these do look tasty. https://minimalistbaker.com/sweet-potato-black-bean-burger/ This one uses oats instead of rice. I like the sound of the sriracha mayo. https://www.noracooks.com/easy-sweet-potato-black-bean-burgers/ This one has some green stuff in it. My only concern with these is that they can get pretty dry. One sister was into a kick once where she wouldn't eat, buy, or serve meat, and all you got were bean burgers. Some of them were like eating hockey pucks. https://thenaturalnurturer.com/black-bean-sweet-potato-veggie-burgers-vegan/ Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! I am really enjoying the pictures of the moms. They are all so precious. I think many of us have moms in heaven and no matter how long it has been, it is still tough some days. I keep thinking of things I want to ask her! I took Sue out to dinner tonight for Mother's Day since her idiot son has not contacted her. She talks like she's ok, but I know she is really hurting. He's been pretty much a jerk for the last year or so, increasingly so since the new wife came into the picture. That is when he abandoned his daughter as well.

Good morning, everyone! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Enjoy your special day! We had another short sighting of the aurora last night. I went out and the sky was a beautiful magenta, but by the time I got Sue and a camera, it was gone. I read that there is a chance of viewing tonight also. We'll give it a try! Celebrating Mother's Day, here is a picture of me and my mom. Today's meal sounds good, but the carb count on it is way too high for me. It must be the rice noodles in it that put it up that high. I would just add a ton more bok choy and leave the noodles out. https://www.eatingwell.com/recipe/8020237/bok-choy-soup-with-shrimp-noodles/ While the last recipe was on the sweet side, this one seems more on the savory side. I'd prefer that, but would probably cut down on the noodles or leave them out. https://thenutritionadventure.com/shrimp-bok-choy-noodle-soup/ Wishing you all a wonderful day!

I guess that's a step in the right direction!

Checking in.

Good morning, everyone! We were blessed with a great display from the northern lights last night. If you looked through your phone camera, you could see them even better as the camera filters really picked up the colors. My photos aren't so wonderful, but what I saw was. There was a great display right out in our back yard. Today I am working on getting my quilt ready for the quilter. I was supposed to get it in this week, but it will have to be next week. Sue is waiting to hear if River's soccer game is rained out. The maps show rain until mid afternoon where they play. @1ANGELCAT I am sorry Houdini took a turn for the worse. May his trip across the rainbow bridge be peaceful. @StLouisCruisers Sandi, I hope you and Dennis have a great time on your cruise! @Niagarawine Enjoy that cruise! @MISTER 67 Bon Voyage! Drive safely! @marshhawk I hope your mouth is feeling better after the oral surgery yesterday. I love Cobb salad. This one looks like it would more than satisfy me! They recommend making your own light ranch dressing. https://litecravings.com/skinny-cobb-salad/ Here's a recipe for the ranch dressing. https://litecravings.com/the-best-light-ranch-dressing/ This Cobb salad uses a blue cheese vinaigrette. That sounds pretty good! https://www.healthyseasonalrecipes.com/healthy-cobb-salad/ This recipe uses a lemon vinaigrette. All three sound delicious to me! https://www.wellplated.com/cobb-salad/ Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Good evening, everyone! We are going to head out for wide open spaces in a bit to see if we can catch a glimpse of the aurora. We should have clear skies for a while. The last time we were in Sydney we went to the Kitchen party at the cruise terminal. It was Celtic music and dancing and they were quite good! We'd go back. @JazzyV Vanessa, if you're looking for something that isn't too much walking, the music is good and the Cabot Trail is a good excursion. We did the ship one because it was narrated and you learned a lot. There was very little walking involved. I did get the patio power washed and it looks so much better. Now, to order the new furniture!
